In the fifth of his best-selling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper.

Peter Grant is facing fatherhood and an uncertain future with equal amounts of panic and enthusiasm. Rather than sit around, he takes a job with émigré Silicon Valley tech genius Terrence Skinner's brand-new London start-up - the Serious Cybernetics Company. Drawn into the orbit of Old Street's famous 'silicon roundabout', Peter must learn how to blend in with people who are both civilians and geekier than he is. Compared to his last job, Peter thinks it should be a doddle. But magic is not finished with Mama Grant's favourite son.

Ben Aaronovitch has stormed the bestseller list with his superb London crime series. A unique blend of police procedural, loving detail about the greatest character of all, London, and a dash of the supernatural. A mutilated body in Crawley. Another killer on the loose. The prime suspect is one Robert Weil; an associate of the twisted magician known as the Faceless Man? Or just a common or garden serial killer? Before PC Peter Grant can get his head round the case a town planner going under a tube train and a stolen grimoire are adding to his case-load. So far so London.

Not somewhere you can murder someone and vanish without a trace - only that's what happened.

Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And it’s just as well - he's already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the police force is less easy, especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn't even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at.

Description
Suspicious deaths are not usually the concern of PC Peter Grant or the Folly, even when they happen at an exclusive party in one of the most expensive apartment blocks in London. But Lady Ty's daughter was there, and Peter owes Lady Ty a favour.
Plunged into the alien world of the super-rich, where the basements are bigger than the house and dangerous, arcane items are bought and sold on the open market, a sensible young copper would keep his head down and his nose clean. But this is Peter Grant we're talking about.
He's been given an unparalleled opportunity to alienate old friends and create new enemies at the point where the world of magic and that of privilege intersect. Assuming he survives the week....
Read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
Features an audio-exclusive interview with Ben Aaronovitch and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.

Best Narration that I have heard for an Audiobook.
The Narrator’s voice and way of reading fit my picture of the main character perfectly. His reading of the story is so smooth, well paced, and well acted that I could completely fall into the story while listening.

If you are a fan then you know
Would you consider the audio edition of The Hanging Tree to be better than the print version?
I love Kobna Holbrook-Smith and I think he embodies all of the series so I don't read the print version
What other book might you compare The Hanging Tree to and why?
Sort of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Have you listened to any of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
He is fantastic
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Loved it but I love the series
Any additional comments?
Get it read it listen to it and if you haven't started the series I'm envious I wish I hadn't read/listened to it because then I could do it again

I am the most unlikely person to become such a fan
Up front I must confess anything (book, film, audio) with supernatural and/or magic theme has been dismissed by me as unsuitable adult fare. sure, take nephews or nieces to Harry Potter, but thats it. I'm more Nelson de Mille, Gerald Seymour, Barry Eisler - that kind of thing. I got a freebie short about a library and, stuck in Friday night traffic, gave it a go. well, I'm on book 6 or 7 or something now. I have to say the choice of voice actor is huge in this- his performance has made PC Grant feel real and someone youd crack a beer with and watch the rugby. The series have all been great; Ive enjoyed some others, but none have disappointed. Give them a go, but dont be surprised if you end up with all in the series. You have been warned

Good story and praise to the auther
Good story, fun narrating with good use of London slang and dialects
Praise to the author for gathering threads from earlier books, but without closing them all.
He also did a good job of avoid powercreep, what have become stronger in this story is not the protagonist, but police organization behind him (it opens also up for new problems).

Read in Order, whatever you do!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I wouldn't recommend this one directly, but the series? Most DEFINITELY. It's quirky, clever and has so many laugh out loud moments ,this is my most looked forward to series. This book HAS to be read in order. I hadn't caught up on the story before starting in on this one, and I was a little lost with the constant referring to past events. It's a good story regardless, but one of my least favourite of the series
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was a little lost with the referring to past books. There needed to be a little more context given to past events. Otherwise, it was a good book. The story felt a bit disjointed, and didn't have a clear engaging story line that caught me, but it wasn't bad or boring at all.
What does Kobna Holdbrook-Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He has an unreal talent to switch between characters and accents. He is probably my favourite narrator, along side Sebastian York - who has the sexiest voice ALIVE
Any additional comments?
This is such a fun quirky series. Start at the beginning, and listen to it. The narration brings it alive in a way you wouldn't believe. The only thing that set this back from 5 stars for me, was the storyline not being "bowl me over amazing" like the others I've read, but still, decent.

Lovely entertainment :]
Hat Ihnen Kobna Holdbrook-Smith an der Geschichte etwas vermittelt, was Sie vielleicht beim Selberlesen gar nicht bemerkt hätten?
I was amazed by all the different accents Holdbrook-Smith managed to realize.
For me - as a non-native English speaker - it would have been quite hard to imagine such hilarious accents and dialects myself.
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
It might make sense to listen to the previous Peter Grand stories before, because I was quite surprised, when some elements came up and needed some time to completely understand everything.

spannendes Hörbuch, stellenweise unübersichtlich
Die Geschichte beginnt mit Lady Ty, die Peter zur Einhaltung eines Versprechens zwingt. Ihre Tochter war auf einer Party, auf der ein Mädchen an einer Überdosis gestorben ist. Peter soll ihre Tochter dort raushalten. Peter gibt hierbei sein bestes, auch wenn er ziemlich zwischen den Stühlen steht, zum einen muss er seinen Polizei-Kodex erfüllen, zum anderen sein Versprechen einhalten und darf auch Beverly nicht verärgern mit der er seit dem Ende des letzten Bandes zusammen ist. Der eigentliche Fall wird erst durch die Verflechtung mit Lady Ty interessant, entwickelt sich aber in eine weitere sehr spannende Richtung, bei der auch der Gesichtslose mal wieder seine Finger mit im Spiel hat. An das Hörbuch schließt noch ein Auszug aus 'Lies sleeping' dem nächsten Band und ein Interview mit Ben Aaronovitch und Kobna Holdbrook-Smith an, beide lohnt sich durchaus zu hören.
Nebenhandlungen gibt es dieses Mal jede Menge, dadurch wurde das Buch leider relativ unübersichtlich, es wurden einfach zu viele Charaktere und zu viele Bezüge auf die vorangegangenen Bände eingestreut. Sehr gut gefallen hat mir aber, dass wir mehr über den Hintergrund von Guleed erfahren und auch jede Menge über den Gesichtslose aufgedeckt wird, der ist eine wesentlich komplexere Persönlichkeit als ich gehofft hatte, wodurch auch die weiteren Teile spannend bleiben dürften. Besonders interessant fand ich außerdem Lady Helena und ihre Tochter Caroline, die sich als fähige Magierinnen herausstellen und interessante Hintergrundinfos über Albert Woodville-Gentle liefern. Am aller besten gefallen hat mir allerdings das Ende, bei dem es sehr philosophisch wird, hier möchte ich nicht vorgreifen. Außerdem mochte ich den starken Twist im Buch, dass in einem Moment sehr witzig rüberkommt und dann auf einmal todernst wird, so extrem wie in diesem Band, ist mir das nur in Band 1 aufgefallen. Gerne mehr hätte ich darüber gehört, dass Peter am Fairyland/ der Feenwelt forscht, aus der auch Molly zu stammen scheint, aber dieser Handlungsstrang sowie die russische Nachthexe Varvara Sidorovna bekommen leider keinen Raum.
Für mich war the hanging tree der zweite Ausflug in Peters Welt in Originalsprache. Foxglove Summer war sprachlich etwas weniger anspruchsvoll, weil dort die geschichtlichen Bezüge aus London kaum Raum hatten. Mr Holdbrook-Smith gibt sich wieder sehr viel Mühe mit den Akzenten der jeweiligen Protagonisten, die meisten konnte ich gut verstehen, unmöglich zu verstehen waren Peters Mutter und Mr Punsh. Nightingale ist ein Fall für sich, da er immer so gesprochen wird, als hätte er dauerhaft ein Kissen im Gesicht, dadurch ist er leiser und allg. gedämpfter als alle Anderen und ich musste mich sehr auf ihn konzentrieren.
Alles in allem hat es mir sehr gut bis gut gefallen abzüglich der kleineren Schwächen gebe ich 4 von 5 Sternen. Es wird für mich vorerst das letzte englisch sprachige Hörbuch der Reihe bleiben, da die beiden weiteren Teile auch auf Deutsch in ungekürzter Version vorhanden sind. Ich habe mir aber vorgenommen die ganze Reihe nochmal auf Englisch zu hören, wenn ich Zeit und Muße dazu finde, es ist schon wesentlich anspruchsvoller und anstrengender als gedacht.

Das beste Buch der Reihe
Die Rivers-of-London-Reihe ist sicher das beste, was es an intelligenten, humorvollen Fantasy-Krimis gerade auf dem Markt gibt. Der übliche kluge Witz begenet einem auch in diesem Hörbuch, der Sprecher ist phanomenal wie immer - dieses Buch sollte man unbedingt auf englisch hören. Die deutsche Übersetzung ist leider eher mäßig und tatsächlich um einige Witze gekürzt. Das beste am Hanging Tree: Es ist das spannendste Buch der Reihe! Absolut hörenswert!

Aaronovitch: Hanging Tree
Was hat Ihnen am allerbesten an The Hanging Tree gefallen?
Aaronovitch: Hanging Tree
Im 6. Band der Peter-Grant-Reihe, Der Galgen von Tyburn, gibt es ein Wiedersehen mit vielen alten Bekannten. Es bleibt nicht aus, dass Peter wieder diverse Gebäude in Schutt und Asche legt.
Es gibt auch ernsthafte Themen, die hier angestossen werden, so z.B. wie kann ein Sterblicher mit einer Göttin leben und sogar Kinder haben?
Die Lesungen aus der Reihe sind spannend genug, um sie auch öfter noch anzuhören - auch wenn die englische Lesung gut verständlich ist. Ich liebe die Stimme von Kobna Holdbrook-Smith und er schaut sowieso aus wie das Alter Ego von Peter. .

Ben, du kannst uns doch so nicht hängen lassen
Würden Sie The Hanging Tree noch mal anhören? Warum?
OH da gibt es viele Gründe. Ich liebe es wie Kobna Holbrook-Smith die unterschiedlichen Dialekte liest .. die Handlung in der ich immer wieder neue (wenn auch manchmal unstimmige Details) Details finde.
Was mochten Sie an der Handlung am liebsten?
Das wir bis fast - aber eben nur fast - alles über den Mann ohne Gesicht erfahren. Wann kommt der nächste Teil ?
Welche Figur hat Kobna Holdbrook-Smith Ihrer Meinung nach am besten interpretiert?
Ganz klar Lady Thy und Nightingale.
Wenn Sie dieses Hörbuch verfilmen könnten wie würde der Slogan dazu lauten?
the hidden London you don't know about
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
Man muss auf jeden Fall die ganze Reihe gehört haben - sonst ist man verloren.
